Descriptions

In Go before 1.10.6 and 1.11.x before 1.11.3, the "go get" command is vulnerable to remote code execution when executed with the -u flag and the import path of a malicious Go package, or a package that imports it directly or indirectly. Specifically, it is only vulnerable in GOPATH mode, but not in module mode (the distinction is documented at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_aware_go_get). Using custom domains, it's possible to arrange things so that a Git repository is cloned to a folder named ".git" by using a vanity import path that ends with "/.git". If the Git repository root contains a "HEAD" file, a "config" file, an "objects" directory, a "refs" directory, with some work to ensure the proper ordering of operations, "go get -u" can be tricked into considering the parent directory as a repository root, and running Git commands on it. That will use the "config" file in the original Git repository root for its configuration, and if that config file contains malicious commands, they will execute on the system running "go get -u".

En Go en versiones anteriores a la 1.10.6 y versiones 1.11.x anteriores a la 1.11.3, el comando "go get" es vulnerable a la ejecución remota de código cuando se ejecuta con la marca -u y la ruta de importación de un paquete Go malicioso, o un paquete que lo importa directa o indirectamente. Específicamente, solo es vulnerable en modo GOPATH, pero no en modo módulo (la diferencia está documentada en https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_aware_go_get). Mediante el uso de dominios personalizados, es posible organizar todo para que un repositorio de Git se clone a una carpeta llamada ".git" mediante una ruta de importación vanity que termina en "/.git". Si el root del repositorio Git contiene un archivo "HEAD", un archivo "config", un directorio "objects" y un directorio "refs", con algo de trabajo para asegurar el orden correcto de las operaciones, se puede engañar a "go get -u" para que considere que el directorio padre es un root del repositorio y ejecute comandos Git en él. Eso empleará el archivo "config" en el root del repositorio Git original, y si ese archivo de configuración contiene comandos maliciosos, se ejecutarán en el sistema con "go get -u".
